    Factory Five Inertia Switch

    My inertia switch in my new build is not working. Pumps work if I bridge the wires. Anyone have one they aren't using?

    Make sure the wires are plugged into the correct connections in the connector. I think there are 3 slots. Only 2 are used. If that doesn't fix it, I can send you one. PM me

    Did you engage the switch? It comes unset and you need to press the button to fully depress the plunger and engage the switch. You can check for continuity across the terminals with an Ohm meter. If you have continuity across the switch, then you likely have a bad chassis ground.

    With the inertia switch engaged, you should have continuity across the terminals? Yes?
